----------------------------------------
While it didn't reach the unbelievable heights of Episode 8, this was still another enjoyable episode. Probably because the start of the episode was pretty much the same as the start of Episode 2, but this time the climax was a lot more exciting.

Just when I thought the girl was only chasing 2 boys, the whole gang of men show up. That was funny, but a little predictable.

seconded, Watanuki & Doumeki are a really good team. I don't trust that lil' black rabit thingy though. Sneaking liquor into the water bottle... it probably watches hentai & gambles, too. >.>

It's was great how it begun the same way as episode 2, but with a different ending. Want to see the Pipe fox in later episodes.

I liked the pipe fox like everyone else seems to have. I really wish we'd seen a more unique problem, though - I know bad habits are common, but TWO stiff pinkie fingers within the first 10 episodes? LOL

I thought Watanuki would get close to her when she was swearing an oath and yell "OBJECTION!!!". But that isn't Phoenix Wright :)
Nice fox, want one too :D

lol agree with you, cuz both Watanuki and Phoenix are justice ones:) Watanuki might have potential becoming an attorney XD

the woman's lucky that the pipe fox saves her, even she still has to suffer for what she did.

Little you know this one was onl made for introductions... and to point out the obvious....
Yes it's a repeated formula, but in my POV, it's a similar way to tell us that lies, especially the ones when you make a pinkie promise, is the worst thing you can do... I can't agree more with that... Promises are something really important... In fat they show how committed you're to someone or something.... the more promises you make real the most you're worth... In my book those who don't keep promises are the worst

MAn that Yuuko is the best hahahaha... I love the jokes, the poses and the words she says.... And her figure... WOW... oh and her wardrobe... another remarkable thing hahahahaha... Evil Mokona... that's why I prefer Kudakitsuna over you punk!!! Kudakitsune is such a cute, caring, lovely and amazingly powerful thing... Heck you gotta love that thing... It's the best pet of any Anime that ever existed!!!

Good episode. Not great, but still enjoyable~.

That girl had it coming, but it was kind of unrealistic, in my opinion, that all of her other exes appeared at the amusement park... at the same time. ._.' The stalker dude and the guy bringing back the forgotten ring had reasons to be there, but the rest? ...

Also, it seems to me that the episodes always follow or turn out to be about something that Himawari mentions. o_O

Another great episode! A little slower paced, but nothing I didn't enjoy. I wonder if Yuuko has a thing for Watanuki? I'll find out later, I guess. Looking forward to the next!

Lol That's what I said, I kinda wish she did lose that finger so maybe she would learn something. That fox was pretty cool.

Hehe, I thought that first as well, but I think that the guillotine is designed to stop before the pinkies for everyone who goes on it. However, the spirits may have got mad at her and tried to turn it dangerous for some ironic revenge.

Less mysterious than usual, but perhaps it is because of the story that is not so compelling, and that sees a similarity with that seen in the second episode. Narration quite funny always thanks to Yuuko and the little fox spirit given by the spirit of the rain.

Lolz he turned into a stalker and didn't really do anything.... they should have let that thing cut her finger off.

The red string of fate . She discusses her soulmate with the one who desires her. Feelings disguised in a philosophical discussion. The pinky promise came from this idea. She claims nothing is more of romantic than being destined for all time. How true. He tries to get involved with someone else’s dispute. She has perished. Who could’ve guessed it wasn’t actually water. Replaced with something more suited for her delicate taste. The dehydration has resuscitated her. He gets to look at something special. A pipe Fox in a pipe box. OK. It’s strangles the things it likes. No, he’s swell. She immediately cracks the theory. She coincidentally ends up there. Her pinky is smoking. Another one with a bad habit. He tries to stop it again. She makes a promise of the red string. He is able to see the creature. She a street resident. She has multiple. The ring is left behind. He is angry because he wouldn’t be his rivals first choice to bring to an amusement park. Placing your hand in love’s guillotine. Their pinky promise of love is locked together.
all her promises come crashing down. She believes all the best love stories include amputation. She was using the red string as her fishing line. She caught more fish than she could handle. His story won’t be silly. She knows the name of whom his string connects. And it is his rival. 4
